A creature can't have 0 toughness; this creature would die as soon as you cast it.
Excuse me. As soon as it RESOLVES. Not as soon as you cast it.
Sorry. Didn't fully understand the Bloodthirst mechanic.
Our visitor is correct. Bloodthirst goes on the stack when the creature enters the battlefield. By the time the ability resolves, the Pillager would be long gone.
For what it's worth, it was a clever idea...
Bloodthirst is a replacement/static effect, not a triggered one, and this works the same way hundreds of past cards with "enters the battlefield with N counter son it" have for years. The creature doesn't die for the exact same reason that creatures from Rock Hydra all the way to Skyrider Elf don't.
However, I agree a common should always be castable without dying on the spot.
I'll keep it how it is now, then.
